Hi,
My children schools are forcing us to purchase books, colors, folders, socks, shoes, etc from them only. They are charging almost 200-300 % of the actual price, at which these items are available in market.
Please help me with any reference, if any rule is there in Indian constitution or any ruling given by any court against such kind of forcefulness.

The matter could be taken up in a consumer court, but the struggle is not going to be easy.

Schools are not aided by government, can fix their policies by themselves. You can shift the child to aided school. Can try to file consumer complaint.
